Nestle is pulling my chain

So I was recently told about this great offer where Nestle is giving away free chocolate to all those that fill out this form. The domain (http://nestle.m80im.com/) seemed really fishy. So I contacted the folks at Nestle to find out what the deal was.

This is the e-mail I got back.

It really didn’t help too much. So I figured I’d call them and find out. When I called they really didn’t have a clue about the web site at all. They told me that it sounded fishy too (duh) and that it was probably a scam.

So if you go to this link, according to Nestle it’s probably a scam. But it may not be, but it probably is.
